Waste of time. You could spend a lifetime exploring this country and still not see it all.

The best part about world travel is you realize that the USA is truly the greatest place in the world, not other country is as beautiful or diverse.

I saw enough of the world while in the USMC and in my own travels to not care to do anymore.
As far as other cultres go, they're all here in the USA. |

My main priority is financial security (i.e., owning my house free and clear, savings, no debt, multiple sources of income).
Travelling's fun and all but it's not a priority. |

After seeing people with no shoes and dirt floors in there homes. Homes with no windows, tv, AC, heat or anything else we have. Also a real good lesson on why we need firearms and 2A. |

Love traveling the US, love traveling the world. Have hit all the continents, met the Aimless extended family. Once the kiddo is a little older we have Namibia and South Africa up as one of his first trips. Sending my parents on a six week trip/cruise around New Zealand and Australia as an early 50th anniversary present (currently they just hit 47 but prices were too good to pass up). Growing up we spent a lot of time traveling to Europe/Asia and occasionally South America.

I care more about the journey than the destination.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” -Mark Twain |

Love to travel.
Love to get back home. Travel increases your love for the US, no doubt. For example, I have a friend moving to Baku for business in 12-18 months. Already pricing tickets to visit. Heck, may try to hunt Tur if affordable. |

If it was open to tourism, I'd be on a flight to Christchurch this week..... |

I like seeing shit; and I think seeing shit is important, but I hate traveling, so I don't. I think it's especially important young people see what the rest of the world is like while getting a concurrent political education. They need to KNOW America really is 'all that' and that some other countries are not shitholes because of what the left want them to 'know', but because these countrys' own self-imposed, usually leftist politics, make them shitholes. |

I have spent a lot of dough on travel. I wouldn't take all of that money put together for one single memory I have.
Next up...Ireland(again), Peru, Madagascar, Scotland, Philippines, and anywhere else I can possible get to. |

There's enough land west of the Rockies to keep me busy for 2 lifetimes.

I got my world traveling thru the military, It was fun and enjoyed it, but like many stated, there is PLENTY to enjoy in the USA. from beaches to mountains to deserts. Hell, ive got alot of exploring to do in my own back yard (recently moved to BFE WVa). Waiting for the spring thaw and hit the trails.

I'll bet most of those who vote they want to see the world haven't even seen 1/10th of their own country.
I've been in almost every state and haven't begun to scratch the surface. Travel our country (for us USA folks) and you will learn more and see just as many spectacular sights for a lot lower cost. EBR |

There's tons of stuff in Europe I'd like to see... mostly WW1/WW2 historical stuff. But it isn't really a huge priority.
I am going to Hawaii AND Alaska this year though... so I got that going for me. Which is nice.

I have no desire to travel to another country. There's so much to see in the states that I haven't seen yet, rather spend my travel time doing that. Maybe one day when I've seen enough of the states I would, but until then, no thank you.

Not giving up my ability to be armed (protect myself) as relaxation or for entertainment. I drive on vacation and the dogs go with us, been doing it that way for 20+ years. |

I love traveling, both internationally and around the US. It's really enlightening to talk to people from different countries or regions and see things from their perspective. I also enjoy all of the good food and drink from different cultures/places.
I think it would be a shame to only stay in your little bubble and not see what else is out there. I don't spend all of my money on traveling, but I do think that spending money on experiences is well worth it. ETA: Live is to be lived. Sitting home on your ass doing the same old routine until you die is the definition of boring. I think back on the things I've done and seen, and they are some of my most cherished memories. Especially when I've been traveling (and on fishing trips, etc) with close friends and family. |

Closest I've been to another country is 10 miles from Laredo. That's about as far as I want to get.
Might have crossed into Canada the one time my family went to Detroit when I was a wee lad, not sure. At one time I had a hankering to visit Italy. Now about the only place I'd travel to is Montana and Idaho. |

There are a lot of things I've always wanted to see and am in the process of closing out my bucket list.
So far I've seen things like the Eiffel Tower, Pyramids, Crown Jewels, Smithsonian, Great Wall, Bora Bora, Sydney Opera House, Coliseum, Canals of Venice, Sailed the Nile, Parthenon, Rosetta Stone, and the home of golf, St. Andrews. There is a lot more, but you get the idea. I've heard about all these things my entire life. Pictures don't do most of them justice. |
